She can be against and disagree with any government or political system - without wishing people dead. She's a fundamentalist idiot.

I wouldn't deny her the award, i would however treat her like a potential terrorist (you never know) when she enters USA, lock her up, check
everything, interrogate and then hand over the award on her way back.

There is no hypocrisy at all. I think it is over reaching to try to call it that. The award may be self serving, but one could also argue that it
was further serving whoever it is she is serving now. Presumably women, as that is what the award is for. It is a piece that further legitimizes
her.

Unfortunately, this whole debacle will legitimize her within the wrong circle in her native land. We have only made her stronger as an extremist, if
she chooses to leverage this.

In any event, two or three statements? Everyone has a bad day. And the internet is a place for all of us to occasionally act like asses. To get all
riled up over this is just simply a waste of your emotional effort.

If I make statements supporting the butchery of civilians, yeah, I might have had a bad day, but I sure as frig wouldn't be expecting some
international award- she wasn't advancing the "rights" of women caught in any of those atrocities she was flicking her bean over
